Continental is contributing to the development of intelligent mobility in urban areas, and that means public transport equipped with cutting-edge technology. The company’s stand will also feature its new head-up combiner display, which Continental has adapted for trams and which projects information onto an external transparent screen in the driver’s field of vision. Not only can vehicle drivers see the road and the cockpit display simultaneously, the information also appears at what is perceived to be the same distance. What’s more: thanks to extremely powerful LEDs, Continental’s head-up display, which has already proven itself as a premium solution in the automotive sector, meets the highest standards in terms of light and image quality, even in bright sunshine.

GoTech World will also see the national premiere of digital solution launches

It will be downloadable from the AppStore and Google Play Store and is aimed at urban car fleets. With Urbaniqe, the smartphone becomes a revolutionary digital assistant, helping to save on fuel costs and freeing you from stressful fleet management, and also allowing you to travel in an eco-friendly way with just a few clicks.

Automated packaging pick-up systems for retailers

Among the technologies showcased at the GoTech World exhibition area stands is an extremely useful one, developed by Tomra, the global leader in automated packaging retrieval technology. Interested parties will be able to learn about the industry’s smallest automated packaging retrieval system, which has a footprint of just 0.6 square metres. It is capable of taking all three fractions of the guarantee-return system, regulated in Romania by a government decision in October 2021. Under this rule, consumers pay a 0.50 lei deposit when buying a drink in a shop. Once the drink has been consumed, in order to get their guarantee back, consumers will have to bring the empty packaging to a return point, where there is a system where they will be given back the amount of the guarantee.

The scheme includes primary disposable glass, plastic or metal drinks containers of between 0.1 and 3 litres. Romania’s guarantee-return system will represent a sustainable change in the way shoppers interact with retailers.

E-Commerce process solutions are also showcased at GoTech World. One of these is the easy-sales.com platform, constantly tested, optimised and developed for use by non-technical users covering different areas of the market. It centralises and automates the activities of: listing products on the marketplace, generating invoices, issuing AWBs and synchronising stock and prices. The easySales SaaS platform follows the model of those abroad with obvious improvements for the Romanian market and merchant needs.
